My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Marmot is truly a special cat. He’s gentle and cuddly, and loves affection as much as any cat could! He’s happiest with company around him and will want to spend a lot of his time in the same room as you or even cuddled up next to you on the couch. He’s never once swatted or hissed at us, and he loves kisses and to be pet around his face. Marmot has a healthy appetite and is definitely food-motivated, but not so much that he gets into things he shouldn’t. His favorite food is Fancy Feast Shreds, and he absolutely loves Temptations and Churu for special occasions. 

Marmot even seems comfortable with dogs! He’s been curious about our (65 lb) dog since he arrived, and after they finally met he warmed up incredibly quickly. He doesn’t shy away from being in the same space and will even spend time on the same couch with our dog (though he may stick up for himself if he feels overwhelmed or surprised). 

While Marmot’s playful side hasn’t fully come out just yet, he’s shown interest in wand toys and bird videos on YouTube. Marmot would love being in a home with a parent that can give him the affection and company that he craves. 

This cat can be adopted with a friend or as a single cat.

More about this rescue

Our rescue group was formed in December 2007, but all our Board Members have had extensive experience rescuing and working with abandoned animals. We often work with other rescue organizations to find appropriate and safe foster and adoptive homes for our pet clients. We regularly go to areas with abandoned animals and collect them. The animals are taken to a licensed veterinarian examined, treated and spayed or neutered. Every effort is made to work with the animal and our foster and adoptive families to find a suitable forever home.

For those animals who are truly wild and feral, we release the animal in a safe and secure location after it has recovered from its medical treatment. We also work with certified wildlife rehabilitators to rescue injured and orphaned wildlife. Our organization is focused on improving the welfare of the abandoned animals in need of help in Brooklyn. In furthering that goal, our resources are focused on the animals.

Aside from a few minimal overhead costs such as our website and phone services, our entire budget is spent on animal care such as medical and food costs.
